The USD money I got paid can be converted to GBP on PayPal, but the conversion rate looks terrible. So you're saying you got the equivalent of c$400 us dollars without any charges straight to your GBP bank account?

I’m just checking now.

On the 19th of May Neevo paid me $165, and $165 went into PayPal. I’ve just checked my bank and £131.58 went in, so that’s about right I think?

On the 11th they sent me $360, $360 went into Paypal. £281.57 went into my bank. So maybe there was some sort of conversion charge on that one of about a tenner?

@rich110991. That's what I'm talking about. I think PayPal uses Dynamic Currency Conversion, so there must be another more effective way of withdrawing. I'm looking into Revolut and Currencyfair.

I don’t mind to be honest I don’t think it’s that bad.

I’ve done the 20 ads every day this week so should I be getting $98?

 

[rninja]

Fair play, but I personally think the amounts all add up over time.
Yes, you will earn $98 for 20 ratings each day across 7 days a week.

Had another bake off.

I withdrew my money today and on WorkMarket it said the fee was $1.96. I chose to withdraw it to my bank so it said it will take 2-3 business days to go into my account. If I had of chose PayPal would it have gone in instantly? I just thought I might get less if I chose PayPal?

PayPal is a $1 fee and it goes in the same day in the evening if you make the request before 4pm. The conversion rate when it hits PayPal might be different to your bank though so not sure what way is best but I always use PayPal.

So how much do you actually end up with when you use Paypal?

Normally between £75-76 depending on the conversion rate on the day. That’s for 20 ads a day/7 days a week
